[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G Cadd9 Am D7
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 New York City gripped me like a big old machine G Cadd9 Am D7 I went into one side and landed in a dream G Cadd9 It stirred me up, and made me shout G Cadd9 And sometimes i forgot about G Cadd9 Am D7 The way the wind blows in and out with the cottonwood trees
[Chorus]
B7 C And oh, its easy to lose your mind Am D7 D7 I might've lost mine if i hadnt found you
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 The avenues, the boulevards, the businesses and schoolyards G Cadd9 Am D7 Shopping malls and motorcars, all in one scene G Cadd9 The lowest lows and the highest highs G Cadd9 The meanest noise and the lullabies G Cadd9 The poison and the compromise Am D7 The unspoken scream
[Chorus 2]
B7 C And oh, its so hard to find your place Am D7 And i'd never have found mine if I hadn't seen your face
[Bridge]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G And you can be my Buster Keaton, I'll be Blossom Dearie Cadd9 Am D7 We can see the world so clearly G Cadd9 G Cadd9 You'll cover the gray away 'n I will sing you songs all day G Cadd9 Am D7 G The decay will just turn to bloom as we look at the good old-fashioned moon
[Instrumental]

G Cadd9 Am D7
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Well, New York City split me like a log in a mill G Cadd9 Am D7 Half of me happy, the other half ill G Cadd9 G Cadd9 But I feel myself a warning to the old neon chill G Cadd9 Am D7 I still feel a longing, but its chased by a thrill
[Chorus 3]
B7 C And oh, it's so hard to find your place Am D7 N.C. I'd never have found mine, if I hadn't seen your face
[Bridge 2]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G And you can be my Buster Keaton, I'll be Blossom Dearie Cadd9 Am D7 We can see the world so clearly G Cadd9 G Cadd9 You'll cover the gray away 'n I will sing you songs all day G Cadd9 Am D7 G The decay will just turn to bloom as we look at the good old-fashioned moon
